El Rancho Unified Fires Teacher After Anti-Military Rant

This week the El Rancho Unified School Board voted to fire the high school teacher who was caught on video telling his students that military members were the “lowest of the low.”

Gregory Salcido has been on unpaid leave ever since the video of his anti-military rant went viral nearly two months ago. In the video, Salcido, who also serves on the Pico Rivera City Council, referred to military members as “dumb shits” and “not intellectual people.”

The video sparked outcry form the community who called for his resignation from the city council and from his job as a history teacher.
